Hi,
I have installed Cyanogen on my Tattoo, and to access to the apps list i used the middle button on three shortcuts (on the bottom of the screen).
But i replaced these shortcut by another and now i dont know how to go to the apps list (i am not talking of the apps list in settings).
Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Click menu then add then activities and find apps launcher or something like that, click on it. That will get it to your homescreen then take that and move it to your dock

Thanks a lot. I think i was sleeping...

I tried searching for other posts about this, but I didn't find anything helpful. Maybe because I didn't really know what to search for. When you click the start button, the menu comes down and above the menu are icons of programs you've recently opened. Is there any way to get rid of that? It does nothing but take up room. If I want to open those programs again, I can find some of them on the start menu or the application launcher on my today screen.
Thanks in advance.
1. Is there a decent spell checker for Android, I'm used to typing very fast so I was used to my spell checker on my iPhone changing words correctly for me for when I made mistakes, such as 'hir' instead of 'him' etc etc, it worked so well and was just wondering if Android had a good one?
2. How to I delete an icon on my home screen, I know how to delete icon's that I've put there but the one that came with my device I'm not sure For example, phone, contacts, messages, applications.
Thanks
I do not have the phone yet but I believe the four buttons at the bottom (phone, contacts, messaging and applications) cant be removed, they are a part of touchwiz unfortunately. There is a way to get rid of all of them, if you use a launcher such as launcher pro.

Good to know. Now that I know that, if you remove one of the icons from the 'dock' do the others center themselves?
Trust me. When you start to get the hang of swype, you will never ever need another spell checker ever.
Right, Swype, although not new, is really great. Kind of get addicted to it.

How do I do that?
Yes Android has spell checker and had it for a long time and it's really really great. I understand you I do so many mistakes because i type so fast but I know it will correct them so i just keep typing faster xD

Go into the applications menu, hit settings and then edit, there you can alter the placement of the applications as well as the four in the dock.
Is there any way to remove just the widgets I've put on the home screen without removing the whole home screen which will include all my shortcuts?

of course, simply tap and hold the widget and drag it down to the recycle bin. same as when you want to remove an shortcut icon.
What is the name of the homescreen is it TouchWiz? But when i look at the process running i see TWlauncher. Is that the same thing?
How do i change the 4 apps on the bottom withouth changing homescreen. I know it can be done with launch pro but would like to stick with the default home ap. I tried to edit but it only changes the order of the screens.
Phone is rooted
I believe this was in the sticky, but I will go ahead anyway.
If you go into the application drawer and you change how the apps are displayed, then you can edit that four apps that show in the bottom slot.

It is thanks Jonjacobmoon
@samlot I see you only have a few posts so just so you know theres a search button that will let you search all the posts. Also the Sticky is a wealth of information.
s15274n did a great job compiling all this information please use it.
Sorry for this one, I have had a quick search...
On the right hand side, the small dock that shows Browser, Apps and Phone.. how can I change this, on the stock rom I had, the phone was wifi, which was much more useful, given that the advent doesnt have native phone hardware!
It depends a little bit on the launcher you are running, but on most, if you press and hold an icon, even in the dock, you can 'bin' it and drag a new icon into its place from the desktop.
Cant tell which launcher it is, currently using Corvus5 rom, but even the Modaco rom had the same launcher... but Corvus5 has Phone (for some reason), rather than Wifi, and I would like to change it....
Holding down the icon doesnt do anything other than launch the app when you release it...
Cheers
I think that is the ADW or the VTL Launcher (both quite similar). Does anything happen if you hold and drag the icon off the dock position?
Nothing happens, you cant do anything other than press them... and the app launches when you take your finger off...
I haven't got my Vega with me at the moment so can't check till later. I guess it may be worth a look in the Launcher settings. I recall these are not obvious to get to. At the desktop, hit the menu button and then go to Settings or Advanced and I think you find Launcher settings somewhere around there.
I have the same problem.
The icon is not part of the normal launcher bit, its the small tool bar on the right hand side that also has the browser and app button so you cant select it and drag it into the bin.
I wish there was a way to remove the phone parts of the corvus rom... i think i need to do some reading
Ok so I got mine sorted, long press on the phone symbol, select edit then wifi setup. I'm using awn, so hopefully helps someone else.
I dont know why i never remember to long press stuff... haha
Thanks for the tip dude!
Does anyone know how to make the tile spaces smaller on the home screens to get more icons on the screen? i can only fit 4 icons across the screen, loads of wasted space
A number of the Launchers have configuration options for number of icon rows and columns. At the Home screen access the Menu and then see if you have some Launcher options accessible under the More button.
Hi,
this is not the first time that it happens, in the past to solve I had to reinstall the whole firmware, but honestly is a waste of time reinstall all the apps and restore their data. My problem is that sometimes when I quit from some apps (generally games) the buttons of phone, address book and sms disappears from launcher bar (as you can see in attached photo). Probably the question is stupid but... have you any hint on how to reconfigure the launcher?
TIA
just enter menu... then press soft key... then press edit... and then just drag phone, messages and contacts back to the drawer...
Mmmmhhhhh no way, from menu->edit I can only add and remove homepages.
i got that sometimes roght after restart when the phone is still loading ... either that is it or if it will not apear after like 15 seconds you can clear tw cache/data in settings/aplications/manage aplications/ALL - find tw launcher (sometimes in some languages it is called network) anyways youre looking for such icon there on list
Tank you $omator, this resolve my issue
FYI my application is called 'Home'
depends on translation in Polish it is Sieć and that means Network
anyways gg
why don't like you go launcher ex? =)
thanks again $omator
your trick has worked also for me!
btw in french it's "acceuil"

i like simple tw3 look for example modified a bit to fit my needs,
ofc they can always install alternative launcher BUT HOW IS THAT FIXING THE MISSING ICON PROBLEM?
it is not, and that is not this thread topic (what launcher do i use)
but how to solve particular issue
you should move the apps in your dock to the app menu before using a new launcher
